I am converting over my rc8t to electric and bought rc-monster motor mount. Looks great and fits great. Problem is I want to run 2 batteries in the back so I had to flip the center diff around and have the motor facing forward. Here is where the problem comes in. I have the stock spur gear on it and it hits the chassis. should the center diff be shimmed up or is there another fix for this? I have seen a ton of people with the two batteries in the and if you could help that would be great.

You either need to shim the center diff upward or you have to mill out under the spur gear. I usually avoid raising the diff due to drive shaft angles, but it is the easier answer. Doesn't that truck already have a plate under the center diff?

i think the truck is supposed to have a plate for under the diff as well.

you are using the standard Center diff riser, correct? You should be.

I think I am going to have to cut the chassis..any guys out there who can chime in on how they did this?

I am using the smaller plastic spur gear and the diff riser plate. I have plenty of clearance and did not have to clearance the chassis at all.

Where could I find this spur gear?

Well, the stock 54t spur is just too damn big.. I just ordered the 46t plastic econversion spur so I hope that fixes the problem.

the 46T spur works great.

good to know.. I really did not want to cut the chassis.

The buggy spur fits perfectly and you don't have to use the riser if you don't want to.It will help lower your center of gravity.

I use the 50T but I am also using the AE kit and the Elite motor mount
